In simple terms it is like an automatic transmission in a car. Your riding mowers will either have a hydrostatic or a (5, 6 or 7 etc..) speed transmission. As it sounds the 5, 6,or 7 speeds are like manual transmissions on cars.
A hydrostatic transmission is basically a hydraulic pump - it's not like a gearbox transmission. As with anything else requiring fluids, air must be purged out of that system to ensure protection and proper function.
A hydrostatic transmission is used on lawn tractors and riding lawn mowers. It is a bit like the automatic transmission on a car but there are no different gears. The transmission responds to the power called for by the operator when he or she opens the throttle. The mechanism of the transmission uses hydraulics to adjust to the different power requirements.

To check the fluid in a hydrostatic transmission on a Cub Cadet riding mower, first, ensure the mower is on a level surface and the engine is off. Locate the transmission dipstick or fill plug, usually found near the rear of the mower. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it without screwing it in, and then check the fluid level against the marked indicators. If the fluid is low, add the recommended hydrostatic transmission fluid until it reaches the proper level.
if this is a gear transmission, it should roll in neutral unless the transmission is damaged or the brake is frozen, hydrostatic transmissions have a release mechanism for moving them when engine is off.

The Craftsman LTX1000 riding mower typically requires about 1.5 quarts of hydrostatic transmission fluid for the rear end. However, it's always best to consult the owner’s manual for the specific model to confirm the exact amount and type of fluid recommended. Make sure to check the fluid level with the dipstick after filling to ensure it’s at the correct level.
Prices for riding mowers vary widely, depending on brand and features. Walmart has a riding mower for just under $700. Home Depot has a Poulan model for about $900. Used models would be lower than that.
